title: [Hexane-2,5-dione bis-(thio-semi-carba-zon-ato)]nickel(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [Ni(C8H14N6S2)], the Ni(II) ion is coordinated by N2S2 donor atoms of the tetradentate thio-semicarbazone ligand, and has a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal, inversion-related mol-ecules are linked via pairs of N-H⋯N and N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming R 2 (2)(8) ring motifs. Mol-ecules are further linked by slightly weaker N-H⋯N, N-H⋯S and C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional networks which lie parallel to the bc plane.
